7 Verbal fluency task Semantic memory: the memory subsystem that stores knowledge of concepts or meanings. Verbal fluency task: information retrieval test where fronto-temporal modulation is required. Information retrieval: Clustering, the production of words within semantic subcategories, and switching, the ability to shift between clusters.

8 Fronto-temporal modulation

9 Semantic verbal fluency task (animals) dog cat mouse lion tiger elephant whale shark dolphin... (sw) dog (cl) cat (cl) mouse (sw) lion (cl) tiger (cl) elephant (sw) whale (cl) shark (cl) dolphin. switching (sw) initiates a different category exploration while clustering (cl) explores current category.

10 Left. Model consisting of a switching mechanism (dashed circle) added to a network. Right. A particular simulation of the model, starting on stripped circle and combining topological random walks or clustering (solid arrows) with switching (dashed arrows).

11 We know the players... what about the game? A. Troyer s definition of human strategy on verbal fluency tasks: production of related words until current category is exhausted and then switching to a new category What is a category? How does switching work and what is its contribution to retrieval processes? Is it possible to move from one category to another in the absence of switching? What is the relevance of different fronto-temporal modulations on the verbal fluency success?

12 HWR=0.07 HWR=0.18 HWR= averaged word position averaged word frequency r = 0.80 p < data cubic interp word frequency word position Left. The large negative correlation found implies that the freq of a word is a good indicator of its expected position in the tests. Right. Three different stages: a decay on saying the most freq words, a plateau region of medium freq words and a final decay with unusual words. HWR stands for heterogeneity word rate.

13 An unsupervised model for inferring lexical networks Use statistics based on evidences rather than expert judgment. Switching mechanism produce meaningless co-occurrences. Our method: evaluate significance of co-occurrences rate respect to its probability expected by chance.

14 The basis of GTOM is to take into account the number of m-step neighbors that every pair of nodes share in a normalized fashion. For instance, selecting m = 1 is exactly TOM algorithm which measures the overlap coefficient O TOM for every pair of nodes i and j, O TOM (i,j) = J(i,j) min(k i,k j ), (1) where J(i,j) is the number of neighbors shared and min(k i,k j ) is the minimum degree (i.e. number of neighbors) of both nodes.

SRW uni : switching uniformly distributed P srw ij = (1 q)p rw ij + qp sw ij = (1 q) A ij K i + q 1 n. (2) SRW freq : switching follows a linear frequency gradient P srw ij = (1 q)p rw ij + qp sw ij = (1 q) A ij + q K n i k=1 f k f j (3) FPT is computed as a ergodic regular Markov chain where next movement of the SRW only depends on current state.
